"Tesla Cybertruck deliveries started in the United States and Canada back in late 2023. However, the company has been looking to expand the all-electric pickup to new markets, including the Middle East, for which it opened up orders for earlier this year. Initially, Tesla planned to launch deliveries late this year, but there has been a slight adjustment to the timeline, and the company now anticipates the pickup to make its way to the first adopters in the United Arab Emirates in Q1 2026."
"In Europe, various agencies have challenged the design of the Cybertruck, arguing that it is unsafe for pedestrians due to its sharp edges and 'boxy' design. Agencies in the EU have said the vehicle's 'blade-like' protrusions are a violation of rules that ban sharp exterior edges that could cause severe injuries. In Asia, Tesla will likely have to develop a smaller, more compact version of the vehicle as it does not align with local standards for urban environments."
Deliveries of the Cybertruck began in the United States and Canada in late 2023. Orders for the Middle East opened in mid-September. Deliveries in the United Arab Emirates are now anticipated in Q1 2026. The Dual Motor All-Wheel-Drive trim is priced at AED 404,900 (about $110,254) and the Cyberbeast trim at AED 454,900 (about $123,869). Regional regulatory challenges have slowed global rollout: European agencies have challenged the design over sharp edges and pedestrian safety, and Asian markets may require a smaller, more compact version for urban standards. An energy consumption approval filing was made in December 2024 with no update.
